[maiestas]

And what happens when he likes you, hm?

[She's very curious about him, but there seems to be some sort of fondness on Mizuki's end that she can't quite ignore. However, given her somewhat cagey demeanor from before, Rin doesn't want to poke fun at her obvious fondness for this person.]

Is he some kind of pervert or something?

[It's said with a fairly teasing tone, even if she hit it on the mark.]

[usarinpa]

[ ...Pft.

There's an audible snort from Mizuki at the bull's eye from Rin. ]

Figures! Even people who've never met him can tell. But... [ Her voice trails off here, and you could practically hear the moment her tone changes to something more serious. ] Can I be honest?

[maiestas]

[Oh, that was a weird shift. Rin blinks a few times, and tilts her head to the side, even though Mizuki can't see. However, she doesn't hesitate to speak, more than happy to let Mizuki speak her mind.]

Of course you can. What's up?

1/2

[usarinpa]

[ There is a pause, because Mizuki is not used to being so open about such things. The girl made her cookies, though. She doesn't owe her anything, but perhaps she feels a little more inclined. ]

He's been acting a little off.

[usarinpa]

I didn't think much of at first, because he's a total weirdo anyway, and... and he doesn't really remember everything I do. [ Behind, as always. ]

But sometimes I worry about him.

[maiestas]

[Oh. Rin isn't very good with emotional things, but in a way, she understands Mizuki and her worries. It was obvious that this roommate of hers was special, and she can only frown as she hears Mizuki's voice. Her free hand grasping the fabric of her dress, wondering what she could do to help ease her worries.]

I know it's not the easiest to tell that to someone... So thanks for opening up to me, Mizuki.

I'm not the best at this sort of thing to be honest with you, and I know telling him that you're worried isn't easy... But if he's acting weird, maybe observe him a bit more in secret?

[usarinpa]

[ Yes, hello. Mizuki also isn't very good at emotional things, and she did not sign up for these feelings or concerns. Imagine how she feels right now—

The reminder that she opened up doesn't help either. Like, maybe she shouldn't have done that? But... it doesn't feel terrible. ]

You mean, like when he thinks I'm not looking?

[maiestas]

Uh huh. When people aren't looking, they tend to be their genuine self, rather than put up a wall or act.

[It was an honest suggestion. She doesn't know the guy, after all, and who knows -- maybe Mizuki will find that he's off for a reason.]

It's just a thought, I guess. Coming from someone who does a lot of spying on her enemies.

[usarinpa]

He's...

[ And she trails off here, as if she's less sure of what she's about to say than she had been a moment ago. She presses forward anyway, however, attempting to sound confident. ]

He's not the enemy, but it's not a bad idea. [ Plus she'd be able to keep her investigative skills sharp. ] ...Thanks.

[maiestas]

[You know, she's not going to say anything. There's just a simple smile, as she brushes some of her hair back.]

He doesn't have to be for you to take a peek.

[She does shake her head, not thinking that she needed to be thanked.]

No problem, Mizuki. I hope that you can figure out what's going on with your pet cat.

[usarinpa]

I will.

[ One way or another. ]

His name's Date, by the way. If he ever tries anything, you can give him a good strong punch for me.

[maiestas]

Date, huh? Oh, don't worry! I'll give him a good noggin. Not enough to hurt the dude, but enough to make him feel it, for sure.

... Maybe with a bit of lightning magic to really give him a good noogie.

[usarinpa]

Just make sure I'm here to see that. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
